The Mesa Boogie Lone Star Special 212 Combo is a fantastic guitar amplifier. With Channel Assignable Power, you can easily assign one, two or all four EL-84 power tubes to either of its two channels for completely independent Power Ratings of 5, 15 or 30 Watts!
The Lone Star ® has gained global recognition from players and reviewers alike, receiving prestigious Editor’s Pick and Platinum Awards. "But why another Lone Star?” Because when the tone is this good, it's a must-have! Combine the incredibly expressive pre-amp with its versatile options, the vintage charm of EL-84’s running Pure Class A — and a new classic is born.
While its Big Brother boasts impressive warmth and headroom with 6L6 power, the Special offers alluring, bubbly tones and a flexible, sensual feel. This Lone Star may be lighter on weight, but it's overflowing with personality. Authentic retro-tone is all about power and how it clips.
